Any thoughts on: "The J.E." Unbranded Super Badger Shaving Brush - Silvertip

Hey Guys!
Newbie here, looking for a good brush. Came across this and was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on this brush, or for that matter possibly owns it.

Any advice or thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

Looks to be a DeLong brush. You can get them on Ebay cheaper. Reports are that the brush is decent and many profess to enjoy them.

Wish I had seen that e-bay tip before I went ahead and bought one recently. Still, I have to say that it seems like quite a nice brush for the money I paid ($30). I can't claim a wealth of experience with brushes as I've only used the tweezerman badger previously, but it certainly outperforms the tweezerman - slightly softer and larger but with good stiffness. Builds lather quickly and easily. Slightly prickly (less than the tweezerman though, which was never that bad to begin with imho).

FYI, the brush shipped directly from Hong Kong and took about 1.5 weeks to arrive. Packaging was minimal, bubble wrap around the brush and packed in a manila envelope. Overall, I'm certainly satisfied, but if it could be had for even cheaper, I'd highly recommend (for whatever my newbie recommendation is worth!)
